This is a lot better post than your first one.
Robot preformance is only a small slice of what counts. All the non-technical stuff (community outreach, fundraising, relationship with sponsors, spreading FIRST message, organization, planning, spirit...) plays a large role. The issue with having teams pick the rookie all star is that they, for the most part, don't know what a team does outside the event. The judges are the ones that come around to talk to your team or listen to your chairmans presentation to learn about what your team does 365 days a year opposed to what your robot does 3 days at the event.
Congrats on your Rookie Inspiration award. Looking foward to seeing your team next year.
